PRESS RELEASE


For Immediate Release

 
 

With the current emphasis on internal security after the mergers and layoffs in the financial sector, Newton Security Inc. announces the use of its T-DAR 3-Dimensional Machine Vision System to prevent and detect unauthorized entry, tailgating or piggybacking into secure areas

 

Seattle, WA October 27, 2008 Newton Security Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer of machine vision single person detection systems, announced today that the use of its T-DAR system can prevent and detect tailgating and piggybacking, two of the most common methods used by unauthorized persons to gain entry into secure areas. With the present potential disruptions created by the combination of different organizations and the potential for disgruntled employees or ex-employees to violate security, the risk of data loss or system tampering has increased exponentially. Since without tailgate protection the access control system is unable to detect violations, the need for the addition of systems to protect valuable systems and data has never been higher.

 

Tailgating is the act of an unauthorized person slipping through a door into a protected area after an authorized person. Piggybacking occurs when an authorized person holds a protected door open for another person that he or she knows or perceives to have authorized access. Both acts completely remove and circumvent the access control system’s ability to reject a revoked or counterfeit pass or badge and to prevent unauthorized access to protected areas. In either case, the access control system — whether equipped with advanced biometrics or just a simple card system — has no knowledge of entry by the unauthorized person unless the tailgating/piggybacking is detected.

 

For doors, or other entrances, T-DAR’s sophisticated stereo 3 Dimensional machine vision technology constantly monitors and accurately detects the number of persons attempting to enter or that are present in a given area and reports violators with direct video evidence to security. For the prevention of tailgating/piggybacking, when combined with a restricted area such as a mantrap, the T-DAR system actually stops tailgating/piggybacking and other unauthorized entries. Additionally, combined with other devices such as automatic immigration gates, security revolving doors, portals or other restrictive devices, Newton’s T-DAR technology guarantees that only one person at a time will enter a secured area.

 

Newton’s patented T-DAR technology has successfully been deployed for more than seven years in numerous applications around the world to control and track access to restricted areas, including airports, government installations, data centres, secure research laboratories, financial concerns, power plants, secure manufacturing sites, unmanned immigration gates, security revolving doors and virtually every other category of secure areas.
